One thing I hate from doing Solo mission like BoM, is the measly amount of XP earned for couple hours of unique insignificant dialogs, and 1 free (40 dusts) pack. After that, I think most players would forget about it forever.

Yes. I know it’s free. I shouldn’t complain.
But if I was the one given a choice how to do things, I would never have chose to do BoM.
The 1st option were to fit the stories into Mercenaries mode. And the pack rewards should go to reward track.
The 2nd option were to give each story it’s own Tavern Brawl.

This time, it was my personal opinion. So I won’t reply to any comment at all.

Believe me, it even goes back further to BoM Rokara Achievements. I mean, they fixed it half-heartedly, because they want you to finish the book again, and I don’t think I wanna waste anymore time for that.

And then we have Microsoft thing, which I assume probably only affect how they do sales and different ways to promote/manage things. The game itself (and problems) is still lies with the team itself. Aaaand I already tired of punching my way to the Blizzard forum as far as getting suspended for it. That’s Blizzard for you.

Perhaps this indie game company can only afford 1 or 2 people to fix bugs.

I know BG is different. And so in this case, I really don’t have much information to reply. My main is still Ranked Hearthstone. Your case may be better pointed at someone who played a lot of BG.

The most viable option, were to give each players a 1x Time Bonus of 5 or 10 seconds in case of emergency. Turning off animation is not the answer.

I had this idea long ago, when multiple occasions like drawing cards when the rope is ending and it turns out the cards I got is actually the cards I need.

Even 5 seconds is enough if we are recovering from DC, and yet to play some cards instead of wasting the round.

No and No. And No. Because it would actually promote executing a cheat long combo deck.
Like in Rogue, where you kinda be able to play the rest of your deck in 1 turn only to execute some 30+ damage with Garrote in one turn.
Like in Mage where you would be able to cheat mana and draws Ignite endlessly without have to think of Fatigue.

Playing your whole deck in 1 turn is NOT fun. Watching player plays all of his deck while we sit doing nothing is NOT fun. Go play solitaire instead. Animation is there so that we know we have limited time each turn and need to actually plan better every time.

Geez. What a joke. I had a feeling there’s something going on with this free gift cardback.
Because no matter how many times you tried to use it, it will always revert back to Classic Hearthstone cardback.

Well done Blizzard. I have had enough with the long mile of bugs this time. Fix your sh*ts.
And I haven’t even mention the appreciation you gave with Hearthstone Lunar Sales, because there’s NONE. *SMH*

Buh. Rat Blessings is bonker. Every opponent just insta-concede in the face of reborn minions.
Whoever made this blessings really never test any of this.

As always, we became their playtester for every sh*t they made.

Hopefully get a miniset teaser sometime today or Thursday.
Probably get released as far as Feb 15th.
A period of 1.5 months is okay-ish I guess.
But kinda shows their inconsistent. No more 2 months period between minisets and expansions.

I just hope Paladin miniset achievements have some synergies so it takes less time to complete the original buggy one.

And of course there’s this ↑↑↑.

Back before we had that new classes, I was surely hoping for Death Knight class. It’s more thematic and unique than any other present classes. Undead and Ghost army. Because I find DH is way too similar to Warlock and it’s demons.

About the stories? well, Hearthstone can make up stories all they want and not connected to the WoW anyway.

There’s pretty big differences between temporary and rotating out. Rotating cards can always be played in Wild, but you can’t play with temporary cards if the class is gone (if this was the case). Worse if those cards were previously earned with packs or bundles.

There sure to be some refund involved, but worst case, we can only dust it for 1/4 value.
But hey, it’s all in theory anyway. No telling what will happened in reality.

The point is, you earn the right to play the cards if you buy it, packs / bundles, either way.

What if DH was a temp class? That would’ve been a great dissapointment.
Pre-Expansion Bundle or packs would’ve been filled with “temporary cards” for DH that would be rendered useless once DH is out.

I mean, let’s face it. They would never give out 18 DH cards every expansion for free to all.
The same goes for DH portrait.

AND it would be disastrous, because they probably thinking twice before nerfing OP DH cards, because everytime it would be, “It’s just temporary class, just one month to go.” Tournaments would’ve surely banned such OP class.

For me, Libram Paladin with Cariel Hero still proofed to be a strong contender. Just won 6 consecutive deck, either vs QWarrior, Beast Druid, Ping Mage and surprisingly Fel Demon Hunter.
Still lack win condition againsts Quest Warlock that using Fatique damage.

As much as I hate China with it’s dictatorship, there’s the money coming from. You can’t expect any game developer to block/reduce access to Chinese people, because as we all know, they are gamers too.

It’s kinda pointless really to mock Blizzard for something like this. As we all know, Tencent and Sony still probably much bigger than Microsoft-ActiBlizz at this moment and they also have big market there. What else can you do if not making the games to be in their interest?

It’s my honest opinion. So, I can’t totally agree with this.

Players: “Seems like ShadowCasting 101 starts making some unfun experience”
Blizzard: “We heard you. Hotfixed it within the day or two”
Players: “And I’m getting free dust out of nowhere”
Blizzard: “That’s not good, we will revert the dust immediately”

Players: “Great! Achievements bugs too please! It’s been two months.”
Blizzard: “Meh, next patch maybe, or next expac. We’ll see”

Players: *SMH*

Although I have to express my gratitude, I just have to say, please don’t waste anymore time tending to any reply that doesn’t add any value to conversation.

Simply put, just ignore it.

Hush Boy! The adults are talking.

I know a little bit about programming and coding, and I really should broaden things when I said “allocating all resources”.

Developing games can be divided into assets, or “modules” and the more devs thrown into it, the more aspect of the game can be covered, hence the more work will be done faster.
Yes, a multiple devs can make a messier coding if they work on the same subject. But let’s be honest, there’s probably more than hundreds objects that also needs work, and each devs can work with each different assets without disrupting other devs.

So, like I said, the more resources thrown into developing ongoing work the better. And I must press this again, if they were to pay more money & bonus to their devs instead of board member like Kotick and his cult, we won’t have to wait until 6 years to get a taste of new game.

Uh uh. one more thing
“Unannounced Survival Game”
Isn’t that just “Working with Blizzard”? You know, surviving the harrasment & groping etc, etc.

6 years without new game, and they started a new one? What? Those gonna take at least 2-4 years before we seeing some gameplay.

Here’s a better idea. Allocate all your resources to finish Diablo IV and Overwatch 2. Then start doing something new. *SMH*
